If “share portfolio” wasn’t part of your vocabulary by the time you’d entered primary school, it’s likely “BaselWorld” won’t be part of your personal lexicon today. A dazzling showcase of pretty, shiny things you simply can't afford, it is the watch and jewellery industry’s annual trade show (the 2015 event spans from March 19-25). We’re talking $485,000 iPad cases (Buccellati also does iPhone cases; $208,000 RRP) and, for the lady, an offering from BaselWorld debutante Graff Diamonds: the $55 million ‘Hallucination’ watch, adorned by 110 carats of coloured diamonds.
